hamāro dhana, rādhe jū ko nāma

English meaning

Shrī Rādhikā Jī’s name alone is our real treasure. It was only because of the grace of Shrī Rādhā’s name that the Supreme Lord Shyāmasundara came to be known as the crest-jewel of rasikas. It was only after having mastered the name of Shrī Rādhā that Shrī Kṛishṇa captivated all maidens of Braja through the melodies of His flute. Again, it was due to the benedictory influence of Shrī Rādhā’s name that Shrī Kṛishṇa performed ‘mahārāsa’ in the divine abode, Braja in Dwāpara. No sooner does He hear the name ‘Rādhe’ than Bhagwan Kṛishṇa impatiently runs to that place at once. Without the letter ‘R’ of Rādhe (in Rādhe Shyāma), even Shyāma remains ādhe (half) Shyāma. Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī advises, “You should repeat this most important name ‘Rādhe’ unceasingly so that by its grace, you also become a rasika.”
